    Ok, now what? I cut coins 5" x 2 1/2", except for the white which is 2". I pieced 5 together. Now what do I do?

    Beautiful color choices.
    Now go to quilterscache.com and look up Chinese Coins. There are directions there, as well as pictures of many quilts made with this pattern. It's a free site and has many ideas. I love looking at the various quilts made from the same pattern. It will inspire you.

    These are both really good ideas. What color should I use for my sashing/border?

    I audition fabrics until I find something I like. I would probably use a small print with these same colors in it.

    Sashing and borders for the stacked coin quilts is a good place to get a larger print that has the colors you used as your coins. Looking forward to seeing your finished quilt.
